Monday afternoon, Scully, Mayor Eric Garcetti and countless others were there, as the street was officially unveiled. Here are a few sights and sounds from the festivities.

It appears as if some of the cloud cover that’s take form over much of the southland parted just a bit for the ceremony. Crazy to see Vin Scully holds that kind of clout.

The Mayor shared his thoughts and hit the nail on the head with his assessment of Vin’s time in Los Angeles.

Scully addressed what he’ll miss the most once he steps away. His answer, as per usual, was perfect. 

“I’ll miss the roar of the crowd … I don’t know you but I’ll miss you”

Then, to finish the ceremony, Scully took time to express his gratitude for those who’ve listened to him through the ages. Thank you, Vin.
